Chapter 344: Xiao Huandan

The phone call made by Ye Xiu made the atmosphere in the living room a little strange.

After a long while, it was Anna's mother, Lisa, who broke the silence and chatted with Ye Xiu.

Bill and the others regained their composure.

Being able to wear Old Green's private custom clothes is not too remarkable, which can only show that Ye Xiu is barely qualified to squeeze into the threshold of high society. In the end, it depends on his own character and ability.

Meryl and Alvaried stood aside and discussed something in a low voice, as if discussing how to embarrass Ye Xiu.

"I see you brought a box, is it a gift for you?" Martina asked with a smile as she looked at Ye Xiu.

"Yes. Ye Xiu said: "The first time you come to the door, of course, you have to prepare gifts. ”

"What are you carrying, can you take it apart?" Martina's gaze was ill-intentioned.

Ye Xiu looked at Martina in some surprise, not because he saw what Martina wanted to do, but because these foreigners had to open gifts in front of people, such a direct style of acting was really difficult for people to adapt to.

Ye Xiu pondered for a while, took out the two gift boxes and gift bags, put them on the coffee table, and said, "Uncle and aunt, it's just a small gift, it's not a respect." Please laugh. ”

Both gift boxes are not large, and they should be relatively valuable small items.

Bill didn't have much interest, the people of the Rockefeller family, what valuable things hadn't been seen?

However, Owen's family was very interested and wanted to see what Ye Xiu was sending. Of course, no matter what Ye Xiu sent, they all have the opportunity to continue a new round of ridicule.

Lisa smiled and thanked her.

"Can you open it and take a look?" Martina asked, reluctantly.

Ye Xiu looked at Anna: "Anna, you can dismantle it." ”

"Hmm. Anna nodded, and opened the two gift boxes separately.

Inside the first gift box is a jadeite bracelet, which is of excellent color and should be the most precious glass imperial green among jadeite.

"It's a gift for my aunt. Ye Xiu said simply, and did not deliberately introduce the origin of this jadeite.

"It's beautiful. Anna looked at the jade bracelet and fell in love with it, and then put it in her mother's hand: "Mom, this should be glass imperial green, right?"

"Probably yes. Lisa took the bracelet and looked delighted, her favorite was jade and jadeite, but she was not very interested in seeing her husband, she just looked at it twice and put it down.

"Glass species?" Meryl frowned, she couldn't tell if it was a glass species, but she knew that there was a saying that gold has a price, and jade has no price.

The price of jade is difficult to estimate, but if it is really a glass species, it will cost at least two or three hundred thousand US dollars.

The better the water, the more pure and uniform the color, and the glass imperial green jade bracelet with fewer flaws has more collection value and value preservation value.

Once, at an auction, there was a glass imperial green jadeite bracelet about the same size as the one in front of me, which was sold for 2.6 million US dollars.

Is such an expensive gift from the CEO of a mere security company?

Meryl asked, "Ye Xiu, is your jade really glass imperial green?"

Ye Xiu nodded indifferently.

"Do you know how much this quality jadeite costs?" Meryl continued.

"I don't know. It should be a good thing. Ye Xiu said calmly.

This is a gift chosen by Lincoln James, an old friend of Ye Xiu, who studied the details of Bill and Lisa respectively, carefully selected them, and chose them to their liking.

With the eye and taste of the great collector Lincoln, it is definitely a good thing to be able to sell. As for the price, Lincoln didn't say it, and Ye Xiu didn't bother to ask.

"Don't know?" Meryl sneered, "Do you know that a purebred Imperial Green bracelet once fetched for $2.6 million?"

"That's right. Ye Xiu nodded indifferently.

"Does your Ryan security company have a revenue of 100 million US dollars a year? How much money can you make a year after deducting salaries, maintenance costs for various armored vehicles, armed helicopters, and other large equipment?"

"My company is not very profitable. Ye Xiu looked at Meryl with a kind smile: "I'm just a small company, don't mention it." ”

Ye Xiu said that he didn't make much money, but in fact, his company had been losing money.

The purpose of the establishment of the Ryan Security Company is just to give Ye Xiu an upright identity in the Western world. As for making money or not, it really doesn't matter.

Even with a big butler like Li Fei'er behind the scenes, Lane Security Company still seems to have lost millions of dollars last year.

The company has seven or eight departments, and the most money-burning ones are the airborne squads.

The captain of the airborne squad is "Fossil", another member of Ye Xiu's eight-person squad, that is a taciturn man, with the strongest military literacy, not much cruel words, very conservative thinking, very unique hobbies, and likes old objects from the last century.

The annual salary of an elite member of the squad is around one million dollars, and there are 50 people in the squad, and the salary of this detachment alone costs almost 50 million US dollars a year.

Moreover, the equipment of the team members is more advanced than that of the armies of many countries, such as S-92 gunships, bird transport helicopters, armored vehicles and various flight training equipment, these are all money.

Not to mention the hired bodyguards and other employees in the nature of mercenaries, the annual salary of those thousands of employees is two or three hundred thousand dollars a year.

Just by paying salaries, the revenue of the Ryan Security Company for a year is almost gone.

In addition, the maintenance, depreciation and damage of various equipment need to be discounted.

"Since it's not very profitable, can you afford to buy a real glass Imperial Green?" Meryl sneered.

Seeing Meryl's aggressiveness, Anna quickly diverted the topic, looked at the items in the second gift box, and said with some curiosity: "Ye Xiu, what is this?"

Inside the second gift box, there was a pitch-black pill, which looked very round, about the size of a glass marble.

Not just Anna, but Bill and the others didn't know what this black thing was.

This is a small pill, compared to the Gathering Spirit Pill that Ling Xiuze spent more than 300 million to auction, the effect on martial artists is worse, but it is also infinitely useful for ordinary people, it can strengthen the body and replenish vitality.

However, words such as Xiao Huan Dan and Yuan Qi were difficult to translate into English, so Ye Xiu had to say: "This is an elixir, eating it can relieve many pains and maintain a healthy body." ”

Meryl seized the opportunity and said, "This is your Huaxia miracle medicine, right?

Alvaried smiled: "It's really ridiculous, take out such a black thing to fool people?"

Hearing this, Bill's face became even more gloomy.

That jade is okay, but this black little gadget can cure all diseases?

Chinese people just like to play mysterious, but in fact they are all empty things.

Cure-all?

Doesn't the magic stick work?

Owen laughed and didn't even bother to say a word, but everyone knew that he was laughing at Ye Xiu.

Martina shook her head repeatedly, full of disdain.

Lisa smiled reluctantly and motioned to Anna to quickly close the box and not let Ye Xiu continue to be embarrassed.

Anna's heart was full of self-blame, she felt that she shouldn't have asked too much, which caused Ye Xiu to be ridiculed so much.

She was about to cover the gift box with the little pill, but Ye Xiu stretched out his hand to stop her, and said indifferently: "This pill can't be said to cure all diseases, but it can cure several old problems of Uncle Bill." ”

Martina's face sank, and she scolded angrily, "What nonsense? My eldest brother's health is very good, what's wrong with him? Are you cursing him?"

Bill's body was as strong as a cow, and he was just fifty years old, and he looked like a young man, so how could there be any old problems?

"That's it, you're just too presumptuous!" Owen's wife also frowned and glared at Ye Xiu.

"Young man, it doesn't matter if you have a bad background, but if you have a bad character, then it's serious! In my life, I hate people who lie and brag the most!" Bill finally couldn't help but speak, and his tone of education was very harsh.

"That's it!" Martina scoffed.

Meryl hurriedly agreed, pointing at Ye Xiu and reprimanding: "Enough! Don't brag, your character is simply the worst I've ever seen!"

Ye Xiu's face was still calm, he looked at Bill, and said indifferently: "Uncle Bill, in the past three years, have you felt a little tired and mentally sleepy at night?"

Meryl interjected: "Isn't it normal for many people to have dinner because a large amount of blood flows to the stomach to digest food, which makes the brain lack of blood supply and become sleepy?"

Bill frowned and said, "That's what you're talking about? ”

Ye Xiu turned a deaf ear and said to himself: "Uncle Bill, you are lacking in vitality, resulting in weakness in many aspects, and the most serious thing is that even if you want to give Anna a younger brother, you can't do it." ”

"What do you mean?" asked Bill with a grimace.

Ye Xiu smiled: "To put it bluntly, it's impotence." ”
